I cured my gout (and T2 diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure, and on and on) by switching to the Carnivore diet. I've eaten this way for twenty months now and am experiencing the best health of all my 75 years.

[@mirikira8632]

Absolutely no fruits or vegetables. Start with beef, salt,water for about 3 months. Take very fatty cuts. Like very fatty ones. Your meat to fat ratio should be 1 to 1. Supplement with butter when there's not enough fat. After 3 months, introduce slowly, other meats, starting with ruminant meats. Keep eating fat.

[@kenzoenzo5586]

Hello what ketogenic does mean?

[@sexybrutale7671]

@@kenzoenzo5586 Kito diet means low carbs high fat (and quite amount of fiber too, of course). Just reduce your carbs gradually until you can adapt with keto diet better. Even complex carbs like whole grain bread, brown rice, organic oats and nuts will eventually turn into glucose in your body and raise insulin. You can still eat them but keeps the portion really small daily. Cut out the table sugar/simple sugar from your life as much as possible like soft drinks, fast foods, sweet cakes and white bread etc. not only they contain too much refined sugar and trans-fat, but they are also poor in nutrients and protein. Even fruits you cannot eat too much, for examples 6 mangos or 10 oranges per day, because they contain glucose and fructose. Sugar has two main factors: glucose and fructose. Although too much glucose is bad but all the cells in our body can still process it, but only the liver can process fructose, the same with alcohol that can be processed by the liver only. Therefore, excess fructose will cause liver damage and lead to fatty liver. There are healthy fats you could add in your meal like avocado, olive oil, egg, fatty fish like salmon, sardines, mackerel, herrings, anchovy etc. organic butter, sugar-free yogurt, real cheese (not processed American cheese used for army which is just a cheese byproduct), you can even eat a lot of meats and red meat in moderation too, because the total cholesterol is not really matter, as long as you know how it works, you just keep an eye on HDL cholesterol levels and LDL cholesterols levels. Recent studies show LDL is not originally a bad cholesterol, our own body produces it to help with a lot of things, they only become bad when they get damaged and then they shrink so small, so that when they become bad. Hence, when doing blood test for cholesterol levels, you should check for the sizes of LDL particles too (LDL-p). For veggie just consume only small amounts of starchy ones like potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, beans, chickpeas, winter squashes, lentils etc. and don't eat them daily like staples, especially when you are still insulin resistant (which means your insulin levels high). For broccoli or cauliflower they are not starchy, and leafy veggies are safe to consume. You can eat what you want when you are insulin sensitive and metabolic-balanced (that's why some people abuse this advantage to eat junk food excessively and then quickly be able to reverse the weight and jump to the conclusion that if they can do that so anyone should be able to do that too, if not then they are just lazy, but they don't know that everyone has different metabolism). On the other hand, when you are insulin resistant (you can do a blood test of your insulin levels and IR-HOMA to figure out whether you're insulin sensitive or insulin resistant), then you'd better to apply some specific diet and lifestyle change to reverse that, or else your metabolism is dysfunctional then you can have type 2 diabetes, obese, vascular disease or gout after 10-20-30 years later, and it happens not suddenly, but slowly affected by your eating habit and a lot of people are unaware of that, unfortunately. There is another important key factor beside the style of diet is intermittent fasting, which means reducing your eating time window to a specific restricted hours so that your insulin levels have more time to go down. Any other diet style can apply with intermittent fasting, and everyone has to figure out what suits for them most through trial and error. For more information, you can watch Dr. Eckberg's channel for suggestions (he's a chiropractor, a holistic doctor and a former Olympic athlete, not a medical doctor, but he has good knowledge about nutrients and some practical advice than some medical doctors out there, I know a lot of medical doctors are good and knowledgeable, but not all). You don't have to follow strict keto diet like he promotes, but a lot his videos could help you understand more about the mechanism about insulin, glucose, some amino acids and other important hormones functioning in our own body. I've learnt a lot from that channel for 3 years, and I still watch other channels to see if what he taught can really apply effectively. A lot of these knowledges still works so far and have helped me changing my lifestyle slowly and focusing better health too.

So for me the solution to avoid gout is to drink water. Every time I forget to drink fluids my big toe starts to get sore and warm. I drink a lot of water and gout be gone.

@@TheBlades345 Hi there, I didnt drink enuff water the twp times i had a gout attack. The first attack I got when I didnt take minerals and the second was during a dry fast for 24 h . Every now and then my toe gets sore and thats when I know I havnt had enuf water. It has been several yrs since my last attack. I havnt been on a strict carnivore diet all yr. It I could get the mrs on board it would be a lot easier:) I got some uric acid test strips and eating meat dose not raise uric acid for me. Beer and wine dose raise uric acid levels quite a bit. I should test fruits two as many say fructose is the worst for gout. Dont really like fruit so might skip that test:) Come October I will go on the lion diet for a few months. Doing carnivore just makes me feel really good. So for me drinking aqua and taking minerals has been the remedy for avoiding gout. I also dont drink booze a whole lot anymore. During the summer I might have a few beers when golfing and a sip of Islay Whisky now and then. I don t drink enuf to get drunk anymore which is weird as I ve been a heavy boozer most of my life. Take acre and greets from Finland:)

Just lower your carb intake and drink lots water to flush out the uric acid. Those are 2 very healthy changes to make anyways

[@2a2dabay2atx]

Yo Doctor...I've get gout once or twice a year for the last 5 years. I'm overweight, high blood sugar, fatty liver. I have the metabolic syndrome symptoms. I thing I usually eat that triggers it is a bowl of organ meat. Well, since I began experimenting on myself with the carnivore diet( red meat, eggs, and animal fat, no veggies) i haven't gotten gout yet. And I've try to get it based on my diet😂. I've had bowls and bowls of organ meat, and red meat almost every day for a months. And nothing, which is great news. Feeli good all around and I'm not dead. BP is good as well. Down 10lbs too.

[@DrewsSoloWorldSail]

Yep carnivore diet worked for me and helped weightloss, energy levels, skin health, blood pressure and no more gout.

[@marielle3929]

But how is your uric acid? I saw a video here too someone saying he feels great after 60 years by switching to carnivore diet. But he just came back with a result tests and his UA is 9.5 but no Gout attacks so that means, eating those you mentioned DOES increase uric acid. But does not cause inflammation? Hence you are okay.

[@emlave7254]

Carnivore, keto, lion diet is the best and only way to eat all the sugars, refined carbohydrates and seed oils are most dangerous. Not only did it change me physically but mentally too.

[@netkotreci3135]

What causes gout? Hyperuricemia. What causes hyperuricemia? 2 reasons. First is the kidney problem (not enough elimination from the body) and the second reason is the purine metabolism disorder. What causes the purine metabolism disorder? The lack of ensymes that controlls the purine metabolism. What causes the lack of those ensymes which is the main cause-the answer is MICROBIOME IN THE GUTS.

[@RaptureReadyforJesus-qv2ql]

I had gallbladder surgery. Then I was not eating that well. I should have paid more attention to my eating habits. Now I have the gout!

[@ScooterFXRS]

Hey, Doc, you spelled -pees- peas wrong. ; ) I've tried ice packs, no good! I find that a bucket of hot water almost too hot to stand works as I use to get it in the big toe and now it settles in my ankle. Dip in until you can't take it pull the foot out cool down a bit, then rinse and repeat. For me it works like magic to relieve the pain. I've also found that getting 100% *Tart* cherry juice mixed 50/50 with 100% cranberry (no added sugars) from a health food store helps a lot. Of course *if* I was smart I would drink 6oz of this a day to prevent all this pain.

[@evilrslade]

If you can stand it, 100% recommend the soaking in hot water treatment. I think the cold prevents the crystals dissolving. Your foot will swell, but that helps recovery. Also, keep your feet warm and elevated.

[@harrykanhura4178]

You may not have gout, but what they call pseudogout, gout responds to cold packs, but if you don't experience relief with the cold then it is not gout. There is some literature about it. Check it out.

[@daringlover8689]

I have had gout for years and as long as I stay hydrated and eat proportionately it don't matter what I eat or drink I do not get flare-ups as long as I'm hydrated properly

[@tdgdbs1]

As long as your renal function can keep up.

[@daringlover8689]

@@tdgdbs1 thanks for your respectable comment and I also stay away from high fructose corn syrup and sugar as much as possible which is it almost every ingredient these days

[@peetsnort]

Bingo. I have worked out that 4 litres of water every day prevents it. Often I get distracted and boom. I get reminded with the pain that only you know

[@peetsnort]

Also alcohol relaxing the kidneys makes you pee yourself dehydrated

[@BostonCleaningCo]

Thank you, great information

[@Cracktune]

EVERY flare up i have had was after a prolonged binge drinking of beer... Period. This is probably due to a life full of beers and damage to my filtration systems.

[@Meathead-10810]

You can stop the high insulin by stopping the consumption of sugar/carbs, then there is no gout

[@deand681]

Avoid tinned fish with tomato sauce. Haven't had gout since I stopped eating it.

I found canned sardines can give you gout. I tried with water filled ones from Wegmans brand found no issues however other brands gave me gout

[@hillaryspillman1553]

Thank you so much Dr. Kim! I had a flare up for the first time this past March. I was getting contradictory advice since so your video made it all make sense. I feel my #1 problem is not drinking enough water. I am changing this today! Thanks again!

[@DieselRamcharger]

yeah the pills and all that dont do crap. ive been paying attention and when i dont drink enough water i can feel it starting to creep in. when that happens i will try to drink a bottle of water or two before bedtime and usually wake up feeling fine again.

i haven't watch the video yet but i already subscribed. Thankyouu

[@peetsnort]

Just drink water. Monitor your intake religiously. Winter is easy to forget because your thirst reflex. I get caught out. The other thing is stress. Something with the kidneys I think makes me pee too much.

[@Reitz86]

Definitely stress added to my gout attacks during my years of a stressful job career.

From what I understand it’s not too much the uric acid crystals that cause the intense pain. It’s when the white blood cells flood the joint to attack the crystals that make it swollen and create the majority of the pain.

I got gout as a non drinking, vegetarian.

[@mikedameron602]

Regarding GOUT: I watched both your videos on gout. The following is a document I wrote for a man with gout. I'm now 78 and still using Fennugreek or Methi seeds daily. I'd be interested if you've heard of that treatment or considered using it for patients like me. Incidentally, I was interested in your comments about the liver. I have some problems with my liver that are being monitored for the past few years. I have to wonder if there's a relationship between my liver issues and my gout. "I'd like to offer something that has saved me a lot of discomfort for almost two years; since April 2019. This is admittedly anecdotal information, I discussed with my family doctor. His response was "if I think it's helping, keep doing it". I don't drink alcohol nor do I smoke. I'm about 10 pounds overweight and 75 YOA. I'm active; fishing, kayaking, yard work and bicycling. I eat very little red meats, more chicken and occasional fish and sea food (I do live in Florida, after all). My gout usually presented in the ball of my foot. I was diagnosed in the late 80's while still on active duty with the USAF. I was in my early 40's. I was given Indocin and took it, as needed, for occasional flairs until about 1.5 (now almost 2) years ago; so 20 years or so. My current doctor recommended I take large doses of Naproxen instead of the Indocin. In short, he explained that Indocin was bad for me but the Naproxen wasn't quite as bad. That sure made me feel good. It did work, but I still had occasional flairs if I drank too much caffeine or ate too much fried food, the two things that caused me problems. I was having a flair, enough to cause a limp, about 4-5 times a year, and an occasional achy foot at least once a month. My uric acid was always a bit high. During a flair, I happened to see an East Indian acquaintance at his place of business (Indian Market and Restaurant). He asked about my limp and I explained. He told me about himself and his father's experience with chronic arthritis. His father, and he, used Methi (Fenugreek) seeds daily to control arthritis and said that the seeds were also effective to treat gout. I asked the obvious questions. I was somewhat familiar because my wife uses the seeds in Indian dishes. He said to eat a small amount (NFI) daily and I wouldn't have the problem. He told me to soak the seeds in water to soften them if I wished. When I returned home, I looked them up on-line and asked about them in two health-food stores. The information was positive...”it couldn't hurt!” For over a year (now over 4) I've taken a rounded 1/2 teaspoon of softened (soaked) Fenugreek seeds every day (pretty much) with other meds that old men take. I've had no real attacks of gout since. Seems like I may have had an ache or two right after I started, but nothing like I had before. I have a plastic dry container (sealed), I soak the seeds overnight and, then I pour the softened seeds and liquid into a glass, and put another amount (1/2 teaspoon) into a small glass bowl with water to soak for a day. I drink the liquid and the seeds. No bad taste and my blood tests haven't changed and uric acid is in normal range. I've passed this info to a number of gout sufferers. I don't know if the info is common knowledge, this side of India, that is, but I'm convinced! The seeds are cheap and available on-line and cheaper in Indian or Asian food stores. My doctor said he was going to research it, but never mentioned it again. I'd be interested if you've heard of it before". Michael S. Dameron, USAF, Retired

[@jlawrence0181]

I had my first gout attack at age 23, 42 years ago. All the diet changes made NO measurable difference in the duration or the severity of the attacks which plagued me for six years. 100 mg of allopurinol at a cost of $3.00 per month has led to NO gout attacks since 1991. There is NO mention of the impact of genetics. My grandparents, great uncles and uncles on both sides of my family suffered from gout.

[@sylviaking8866]

Take 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Potassium Citrate powder in water once to twice per day and your gout will go away. It is an excellent supplement. Make sure you use the Citrate form. I buy Now brand and use it as a supplement on my ketogenic diet. Most people struggle to reach the 4000 - 4700 mg daily amount of potassium needed on a keto diet from just food. The citrate form is alkalizing and helps to neutralize uric acid crystals. It holds uric acid in solution (prevents it from crystalizing) giving your kidneys time to excrete it.

same here, also beer has a high purine content and alcohol generally dehydrates the body and also components of beer such as yeast slow down the breakdown of uric acid in the body. nevertheless, i always take it as a warning when i get a gout attack. then i have always not lived and eaten healthily
